The cliff is still only feet away

By Creature

And if Democrats listen to Harold Ford Jr.'s advice to "address budget deficits now rather than waiting for some ideal future economic situation" we are sure to go over that cliff. We need to spend and Democrats need to explain why. And when they are done explaining, they must explain it all over again. And again. And again.

"I think we ought to withdraw the current Senate bill and instead just pass a bipartisan resolution that Americans should strive to be healthier!" -- El Cid, reacting to the president's continued bi-partisan delusion.

"What else is there to say? In the end, after eight long and traumatic years, Bush did not have much to tell us. Who wouldn't rather watch a miracle airplane landing than a failure saying goodbye?" -- David Corn, on Bush's, almost preempted, goodbye.

Kevin Drum says goodbye:

Still, I sure hope that the public doesn't forgive Bush for a very, very long time. To this day I don't understand how such a manifestly unqualified candidate got either nominated or elected in the first place, and the damage this man-child has done to the country during his eight years in office is hard to even put into words. If Barack Obama is lucky, he might — might — by 2016 be able to get us back to where we were in 2000. The last eight years have taken us backward by almost every metric that matters, and as he heads off to Texas, hopefully never to be heard from again, Bush will go down in history as one of the very few presidents to have left the country in demonstrably worse shape than when he got it. It's an elite group indeed.

The man-child part is key. George Bush is stunted in every way.
